Title
Rates of PSA screening in PLCO
Summary
The PLCO trial randomized men to usual care or annual PSA screening and DRE. We would like to examine the rates of screening in the intervention arms and the control arms during and after the study using the HSQ. This will provide insight into PSA screening in the community, and provide additional context to the debate on PSA screening.
Aims

1. Determine the rate of screening in the PLCO participants following the trial and in the control arm during the study.
2. Understand the demographics of PSA screening in the community.
